ABSTRACT:
An insect swatter designed to prevent soiling of walls and the like flat surfaces, in which an insect is caught without being crushed. The swatter comprises a cup-shaped body with an exposed insect-catching glue layer lining the inside. The swatter has an upwardly-convex semi-flexible membrane peripherally supported by a frame ring, the latter connected to a handle. A glue-coated sheet is secured to the inside face of the semi-flexible membrane. During a strike around the bug, the inertia momentum gained by the semi-flexible membrane briefly shifts the convexity thereof to a concavity, whereby the bug touches and adheres to the glue without being crushed. The glue-coated sheet can be easily removed after use and replaced by a new sheet.
